This value is not part of the Statement of Revenue or Statement Functional Expenses on pages 9 and 10, respectively. 1354 0 0 Outdoor recreation -- Our main goal is to help people connect with nature, both through our trail network and from programs we offer. Many of the trails have kiosks and maps for users. Our programs include guided walks open to the community and an annual Accessibility Day for people who cannot walk to one of our summits. The guided walks help people learn more about the environment, as does the "Field Note" section in our newsletter. Expenses include trail maps, brochures, other kiosk material and trail maintenance. Volunteers worked 1121.75 hours on trail development and maintenance, for a value of $38,577. 451 0 0 Education -- Local schools use the Pinnacle lean-to and trails for field trips and environmental study, and some students do community service projects such as helping to remove invasive species. We sponsor a naturalist who accompanies elementary school students on hikes on Pinnacle land to help with their environmental education. Board Members provide guided walks to points of interest, ie to locations such as Bald Hill, Lily Pond, Creature Rock, and to areas of blooming spring flowers. Volunteers worked 73.5 hours on education programs at a donated value of $2,528. 0 0 0 40664 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 11 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X X X Robert Gay 8023764037 165 Union St Springfield VT 05156 Paul Wilson Director Vice Chair 2.35 X X 0 0 0 Tony Coven Director 4.50 X 0 0 0 John Gregg Director 1.43 X 0 0 0 Alison Latham Director 0.56 X 0 0 0 Jay Maciejowski Director 3.46 X 0 0 0 Lisa Merton Director 3.54 X 0 0 0 James Roberts Director 3.31 X 0 0 0 Laura Swoyer Director 0.54 X 0 0 0 Camilla Roberts Director 3.62 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Latham Director Chair 4.79 X X 0 0 0 Molly Wilson Director Secretary 2.38 X X 0 0 0 Robert Gay Director Treasurer 7.62 X X 0 0 0 Mike Olster Director 0.77 X 0 0 0 John Ralston Director 0.77 X 0 0 0 Nathaniel Skull Director 0.77 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 245 0 0 4000 207020 17315 211265 0 12495 12495 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26655 0 0 0 26655 0 26655 26655 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 250415 39150 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19131 0 19131 0 0 0 0 0 2550 0 2550 0 1879 0 1879 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6164 0 6164 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7332 0 7332 0 16268 11183 4687 398 9918 2513 4843 2562 1697 207 1432 58 11175 8590 1687 898 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 749 0 749 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6282 0 6282 0 Membership 1096 0 1096 0 Property Taxes 14143 14143 0 0 Property Servicing Expense 4028 4028 0 0 102412 40664 57832 3916 27744 57030 219072 118501 0 0 187500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7392 7893 3500351 0 3118310 3500351 671725 703409 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4231743 4387184 12944 5327 0 0 17190 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 30134 5327 X 4104904 4287055 96705 94802 4201609 4381857 4231743 4387184 148003 28735 0 3510 0 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 512197 436331 126668 340175 207175 1622546 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 512197 436331 126668 340175 207175 1622546 364306 1258240 6482 12087 9257 12548 12495 52869 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1675415 0 0.75100 0.73138 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 587878 6213 60815 0 18900 3510 632496 524982 17889 48089 0 0 3082 587878 482112 0 45461 0 0 2591 524982 452833 97805 -38974 0 27000 2552 482112 338766 14618 101524 0 0 2075 452833 0.864 0.136 0 1 0 3475282 0 3475282 25069 0 0 25069 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3500351 250415 0 0 0 0 0 250415 0 0 0 250415 102412 0 0 0 0 0 102412 0 0 0 102412 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The use of the Stewardship Endowment Fund is to first, pay for any necessary Corporation Liability Insurance, 2nd to pay Property Taxes, and third for any other expenses ordinary and necessary for stewardship purposes.
